[Asia Economy Jeju=Reporter Yoo Je-hoon] Lee Jun-seok, leader of the People Power Party, said on the 7th, "We will do our best to resolve legislative deficiencies so that the political sphere does not become an obstacle to the expansion of electric vehicle-related infrastructure."

Lee attended the opening ceremony of the 8th International Electric Vehicle Expo held at Jeju International Convention Center (ICC Jeju) in Jeju in the afternoon and stated, "I personally became an electric vehicle owner recently."

Last month, Lee received Hyundai Motor's first dedicated electric vehicle, the Ioniq 5, becoming an 'electric vehicle owner.' Regarding this, he said, "My connection with electric vehicles began four years ago when I rented and drove an electric car during a trip to Jeju," adding, "Based on that experience, I chose an electric vehicle without hesitation."

Lee also said, "Many citizens who have experienced electric vehicle infrastructure while spending leisure time in Jeju seem to have become pioneers of electric vehicles across the country, creating public opinion to establish infrastructure nationwide and purchasing (electric) vehicles," adding, "Rapid charging infrastructure is also expanding quickly on the mainland, and recently distributed 400 kW and 250 kW chargers have become sufficient for everyday use."

Furthermore, Lee stated, "I hope that this expo will serve as an opportunity to broaden concerns about electric vehicle infrastructure nationwide through support from the government and political circles."
